Red Across The Board
I'm Matt Rice with the Market Line Report for December 14th. Commodities taking a hit in both the livestock and grain market. We check in with Gregg Sanders as he goes over the Cattle Feeder Report.Sanders- "Thank you and good morning everybody, here's the Northwest Feeder Cattle Summary for Washington, Oregon, and Idaho for Dec 11th, 2015. Compared to last Friday, feeder cattle were $2- $10 lower. Trade remains slow to moderate with light to moderate demand. The CME board remains extremely volatile on both the feeder and live cattle contracts. No doubt reflecting in part great confusion on both sides and product prices probe late levels not even imaginable by the biggest bears on the land. "
